Dating from 1815 Billaud-Simon has been one of the great domaines of Chablis. It was founded in 1815 by Charles Louis Noël Billaud upon his return from the Napoleonic Wars. He planted vines on his family holdings which were later expanded through the marriage of his relative Jean Billaud to Renée Simon in the 1930s. Today, Billaud-Simon’s premier and grand Cru bottlings are in the very top echelon of the region.

This is an excellent expression of Chenin Blanc which, in particular, displays an exceptionally high quality of fruit and the organic production ensures that the terroir comes across in the aromas and flavors of this wine.

Meanwhile, the mineral character brings about an exciting complexity.
Aydie Pacherenc du Vic Bihl (500mL)
A silvery yellow, this wine is perfectly brilliant and clear. Exotic fruits and honeyed notes on the nose, a combination of delicacy and strength. The lively attack on the palate is in complete balance with the rich, fat structure. The finish is a caress of citrus fruits and a long vanilla sweetness, typical of grapes dried on the vine. This sweet wine has enormous potential. To be drunk cold at 8° to 10°C and pairs perfectly with foie gras and cheeses.
This product is 500mL.
Antonio Scala Ciro Blanco 2021
100% Greco, from a 2 hectare vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district). Spicy, fresh aromas of peach, quince and honeysuckle hold much allure. The palate is white spice, salty, fresh and focused. This is an irresistible example of the native Greco grape.
"I think greco bianco (unrelated to Campania’s greco di Tufo) is potentially one of Italy’s best native grape varieties." - Ian d’Agata
